Human Infectuous Disease

Throughout history, vaccinations have been used to help the prevention of infectious diseases; some of which can produce serious illnesses, crippling disabilities, and ultimately be the cause of death. There is evidence of ancient culture’s attempting to treat transmittable diseases with various forms of inoculations. Developments in the research of vaccinations increased during the mid-twentieth century because of the established of more advanced laboratories, improved equipment, and new innovations. The progression of medicine during history has helped further the development of research into vaccinations. Several cultural, ethical, and religious issues have resulted from the development and use of vaccinations in our society. The topic of vaccinations has caused a strong debate amongst our culture about the safety and danger of treating infectious diseases with such methods.

Immunization remains one of the most effective methods to prevent the spread of pathogens among human populations (Orenstein, Paulson, Brady, Cooper, & Seib, 2013). It seeks to pre-emptively expose a host body 's immune system to harmful pathogens which it would otherwise encounter in the wild, and thus provide immunity without infection (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014).

Some of the most emerging and re-emerging agents of the waterborne diseases are; Cholera which is caused by the ingestion of water that is infected by Vibrio Cholerae. This is a painless form of diarrhea characterized by watery stool. Dysentery which is caused by Escherichia Coli. Typhoid that is caused by Salmonella typhi which is usually accompanied by fever is yet another disease. Gastroenteritis diseases caused by Giardia and Cryptosporodia and some species of hepatitis are also known to be caused by water (CDC, 2011). These disease causing agents find their way into the human body through infected water that people from the poorer communities in Uganda use and have no option of cleaner water.

The key to combating these virulent diseases is to create an immunization in the general public through the use of vaccines. In an effort to build a person’s immunity towards a particular disease, vaccines that contain weakened or dead microbes are administered using a hypodermic syringe. By imitating the substances that cause the

Worldwide, infectious diseases kill millions of people each year. In fact, they are the leading killer of children and cause 16% of all global

Based on research and observation, we now know that infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms (pathogens) and that the immune system provides defense against infectious diseases.

Cholera is an intestinal infection that can claim its victim’s life within hours if not treated promptly. It is caused by eating or drinking something that is contaminated with

In the world today, we are exposed to all kinds of germs and disease, these germs and disease can cause all kind of harm on to humans. Throughout history there has been epidemic of deadly viruses all around the world. As a species, we have developed a way to prevent disease and viruses though vaccines or immunizations. The Idea of Vaccine have bee a major challenged to public health over the last century. But like any type of medication, there are going to be both pros and cons. Recently there has been cause for concern for vaccination children. The concern steams from the belief if vaccines are safe today. There are also a great number of wonderful aspects to vaccines. The Question today is whether vaccines are safe and if they way they are researched are the most effective. This paper will be looking at the 21st Century Cure Act and how it could change the way vaccines are creates and provided to the public.

The Center for Infectious Diseases Division of Communicable Disease Control, an Immunization Branch Senate Bill 277 was signed by Governor Brown on June 30, 2015. Effective one year from now in July 2016, SB 277 will no longer permit immunization exemptions based on personal beliefs for children in child care and public and private schools; permit personal belief exemptions submitted before January 1, 2016 to remain valid until a pupil reaches kindergarten or 7th grade.

Influenza is an infectious disease caused by the influenza virus. It is a contagious disease that spreads around the United States every year, between October and May. The virus is contagious and affects up to 3 million people per year. It can spread by coughing, sneezing, or close contact with a person who already has the virus. Symptoms for influenza includes: sore throat, muscles aches, fatigue, cough, headaches, runny or stuffy nose, fever, and chills. People die every year from the flu or flu - related illness, such as bacterial pneumonia. According to the CDC, they do not know exactly how many people die from seasonal flu each year. There are several reasons for this. First, states are not required to report individual seasonal flu cases

There are two measures in public health who have had an extraordinary impact on the health of citizens of the world over the years: water purification and vaccinations. Vaccinations are important and vital to maintaining a long and healthy life, in conjunction to immunizations. There is indeed a difference between a vaccination and an immunization. A vaccine contains a live, but weakened, or dead germ that is able to cause a particular disease such as tetanus or the flu. A vaccine is the action of being injected with a germ and immunization is the action of the body developing antibodies against the germ that was presented via injection. In this paper, I will discuss the history, the pros and cons and my viewpoint with supporting information about vaccines and immunizations.

Two hundred years ago the causes of infectious diseases were unknown, and so our ability to control or cure them were almost non-existent. During the late 19th and early 20th century a number of scientists contributed important ideas and findings which lead

The single most essential development in the fight against infectious disease has been the creation of vaccines to inoculate individuals against a variety of incredibly dangerous viruses, bacteria, parasites, and pathogens1. Following their development in 1796, vaccinations have lead to unimaginable progress in the medical field as vaccine intervention has facilitated a reduction in the morbidity and mortality associated with infectious disease and by extension, contributed to an enhanced of quality life for all individuals1. Despite the incredible benefits associated with vaccines there is still the potential for adverse events to occur as a result of vaccination2, as no medical intervention is completely free of risk. Therefore it is essential

Humans face variety of diseases which they lead to deaths annually. Some of them caused by microorganism such as bacteria and viruses. Viral illnesses, caused by viruses, spread directly by replicate inside the host body such as Chicken Pox, Roseola and Measles. For example, Measles, is a pathogenic disease which caused by paramyxoviruses. Measles mostly infects children who do not have a good nutrition, and it spreads through air by sneezing and coughing. (1)(2) In order to understand the measles disease in a better way, the discussion will be in its history, symptoms and treatment.

Because improvements in nutrition and sanitation have been made, many epidemics have ended. As longevity of life increases, chronic diseases have taken the place of infectious disease as the leading cause of death. The different modes of transmission, disease development, and disease spectrum are all important factors to consider when studying the transmission of communicable diseases. It is also important to know about emerging infectious diseases. It is important to be aware of these diseases so that signs of these symptoms can be easily recognizable to provide the best patient care.
